Dolphins Win Season Opener Against Jaguars

The Miami Dolphins secured a 20-17 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in their season opener, highlighted by Jason Sanders' game-winning 52-yard field goal as time expired. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for 338 yards and a touchdown, with a pivotal halftime speech that spurred the team’s comeback. Tyreek Hill, who was detained by police before the game, played a crucial role with an 80-yard touchdown reception. Despite a slow start, the Dolphins scored 13 unanswered points in the second half to overturn a 17-7 deficit. Defensive plays, including a key fumble recovery by Kader Kohou, were instrumental in shifting the game’s momentum. The Dolphins now face the Buffalo Bills in their next matchup, with significant attention on Hill following his altercation with Miami-Dade police.
